Phantom Brave PC - Review @ CGMagazine

CGM reviewed the PC-version of the J-RPG Phantom Brave PC:

Phantom Brave (PC) Review

I can't exactly ascertain when strategy RPGs (SRPGs) got their hold on me. I've posited a few potential situations before, but the first real big revelation came with the inaugural Shining Force, Ogre Battle, and Final Fantasy Tactics entries. Those were like a gateway of sorts into a long string of NIS games that grabbed and never let go. They pretty much had me at hello with Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, before Disgaea managed to capture the attention of pretty much anyone even remotely interested in the genre. But because of the massive success of that series a few games went relatively unnoticed by many. One such title is the lovely Phantom Brave.
[...]
Phantom Brave is in a unique position where it relies on established NIS conventions, but strays from them just enough to give diehards something different. The fact that it holds up over 12 years later on PC is a testament to that.
Score: 9/10
